Question:

ceramic glaze on clay chimnea?

I have a well seasoned clay chimnea that my husband brought me home from south Tex. several yrs ago. I‘d like to give it some pizazz! What would ceramic glaze do to it? How long and hot would the fire have to be kept for the galze to do it‘s stuff? I‘d love some deep reds with gold and turquoisesouthwestern flare!

Answer:

If it is ceramic than it should be ok to put a glaze on it. I dont't know if you have experience with ceramic but if i were you before doing anything i would consult a pottery shop or even a local art supply store. Glazing can be tricky especially when it comes to firing it. If i do something with ceramics i usually have somebody else take care of the firing for me for two reasons, 1 being that i don't have a kiln( a special oven used to fire ceramics) myself also i'm not experienced with it enough to know how to set if as far as tempature and how long to leave the peice in there. I hope everything comes out ok. And remember always look at a sample of what the glaze looks like AFTER it has been fired, never go by what the glaze looks like in the bottle,i have made that mistake and you will want to kick yourself afterward.
You don't need it. It's just for show. The Wii Wheel is just a fancy housing for a Wiimote. You can use the Wiimote without it. You can also use a GameCube controller, the Classic controller of the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo.
